30 TREATISE ON FRUIT TREES. 



The pit is average-sized, very red & very adherent to the flesh. 



This nectarine ripens at the end of September. For the flesh to become more 

 tender, the tree must be planted in the best exposure, the fruit picked only when it begins 

 to fade & to let it become even juicier by storing it for a while in a fruit loft. 



XXVII. PEACH TREE with small flowers and late, smooth, spherical fruit, pale in color with a 

 slight flavor of apricot. 



Smooth YELLOW PEACH. Yellow LISSEE. (PL XIX) 



This is a vigorous tree & it resembles the small early Violette peach tree. 



Its shoots are long & yellowish. 



The leaves are big & wide. They turn yellow in the fall. 



The flowers are small or medium-sized. 



The fruit is round, not as big as the large Violette, sometimes slightly flattened. 



Its skin is yellow, smooth, & has no down. It's slightly streaked with red on the 

 side facing the sun. 



Its flesh is firm & yellow. 



In a mild autumn the juice is sweet, most enjoyable, & it acquires a slight flavor 

 of apricot. 



The pit is average-sized. 



The smooth yellow peach ripens in mid-October. It can be stored for about a 

 fortnight in a fruit loft where it will ripen completely. As a result it can be eaten until the 

 beginning of November.
